| - Firstly, the service was great. Really nice people. Check.
The decor, typical for a family run restaurant. Clean. Efficient. Check.
But I guess there are two camps on the burger front. People that like dry meat patties layered with ketchup, mustard and mayo to make up for the dry meat and those that like juicy oozing with goodness patties that could be eaten without any condiments. This place fell on the dry side. And I'm not part of that camp. For one, they say they make their patties fresh daily. That's great, and maybe they do but they taste like pre-frozen and processed through an assembly line. Maybe it's the type of chuck they use (too lean), or maybe they use a machine to form the patties and let it sit for hours. Don't know. Surely, cooking it on a grill instead of a flat top will dry it out. All things that add to a burger with a texture that feels pre-frozen and processed no better then the frozen foods section at Costco. Bun was nothing special. Toppings seemed fresh though.
Based on a previous reviewer, I ordered the spicy fries. But again, there seems to be two camps pertaining to fries too. Those that like the crunchy, battered with something fries that you see at many fast food joints these days. And those that like good spuds, not coated with batter to increase it's crispness or taste. Simple, freshly cut, deep fried in lard and heavy on the salt. I am part of that 2nd camp as well. These "spicy fries" taste like they came from a McCain package sprinkled with mystery spicy salt. Let down. I'll leave this place to the other camps to enjoy.
